Abstract

The presented paper describes artesian aquifer collector which is situated in the area of interest of the J. Sverma and Vrsany open pit mines. The area of interest is situated at the southern border of the central part of the Most Basin (previously North Bohemian Brown Coal Basin). The occurrence of severa l saturated collectors, which were created in this area in different geological peri ods (especially in the Upper Cretaceous and Miocene Period), is obstacle to the continuous extraction of coal from the beginning of the mining operations. The collector of underlying sands, which is located below the base of the coal seam, is the first. The se diments stratigraphically belong to the Upper Cretaceous and Miocene Period. Other collector s occurring in the area of interest are: bodies of interdeposit sands (situated between the coal benches) and accumulation of sands and gravels deposited in the overlying strata. The collector of underlying sands, which is the largest collector of the Most Basin, is causing the biggest problems to continuous mining operations of both mines. For this reason, various drainage measures were realized in the form of drainage boreholes or whole drainage barriers. The submitted paper describes the geological structure of the co llector of underlying sands and its origin and measures implemented to mitigate th e negative impacts of coal extraction.
